Welsh is an official language of Wales. This means, legally, it cannot be treated less favourably than English in any part of daily life. So we have bilingual signs and sometimes the translations are… well just awful.

This is a classic and made the news.

Welsh reads “I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated.

Welsh reads “Wines and ghosts”

Welsh reads “Warning workers are exploding”

In English these drinks are alcohol free in Welsh the drinks are free “Alcohol for nothing”.

Um- Welsh reads “Free erections” yes really!

This seems a tad harsh “Injure yourself now”

Wording is fine but the English and the Welsh disagree on right/left

The sign says “Parcio I Bobi Anabl” which is “Parking to bake the disabled” which I don’t think Tesco were going for.

#Seriously so helpful #Advice #Tinnitus #This helps me when it's so loud I can't think of sleep #Mine is constant with two components #A quiet medium pitch one and a high pitch one which gets much worse if I remember it exists #And the high pitch one gets absolutely maddening when I'm anxious and alone

oh yeah don’t mind me i’m just thinking about how blue and gansey are technically the main characters of this story but it’s still not entirely about them and how ronan isn’t the hero of this story but he is the hero of a story that branches off from it and how adam would’ve been the villain in a worse version of the story but he had too much loyalty to the narrative to let his friends go and how the story could never be about noah but it also could never be about anyone except for noah

Ideal work schedule:

I show up and am given a list of cognitively engaging but achievable tasks

I complete the list

I leave immedietly

#Pretty lucky to have this currently!! #Bout to start my PhD though so that's gonna be significantly less chill #I'm... nervous

“It gives me emotional security,” is one of the most casually romantic lines I’ve ever fucking heard, don’t touch me

If I've done my math correctly, I am about the same age as Suvi is supposed to be and I have to say Aabria really knows how to play someone in the early twenties. Specifically when suvi kind of breaks down and like "cry talks" to her friends. It makes me feel like I'm at a college party and one of my friends has had too much to drink and we're having a heart-to-heart. It's fantastic! She's a genius. I have never seen someone play a youth in such an accurate way, especially in an improvised medium. In a lot of shows and television about young adults, I kind of forget that they're young adults because they're either acting like teenagers or acting like full-grown adults. But I never forget how young Suvi is without thinking of her as a child and that takes a lot of skill.

I love Star Trek, I love how every time a federation ship goes into the romulan neutral zone there is also immediately a romulan ship. Like girl, what were YOU doing in the neutral zone?

People are always like "why do they let Data play poker with them, his brain is a computer, he has an unfair advantage," and the answer is simply because it's for fun!! He's their friend! Like can you imagine if they told Data he can't play, he'd be like "I understand, that's a logical decision, and as an android I am unable to feel left out," but then any time the poker game came up he'd be looking at Riker across the bridge like
